Enrol and unenrol students in Groups in bulk

Updated on

In Brightspace, you can easily enrol and unenrol students in groups using a CSV file. This saves time and makes managing your course much easier.

What you should know:

  • Students need to registered in the course
  • The group(s) in which you want to enrol students, should already exist (so set up the groups first)

Step by step plan

Fill in the Excel file (template can be found at the bottom of this article) with the student numbers and group code(s). Make sure you use the correct tab (ENROLL or UNENROLL). Copy the data in column M to a new Excel file, which you save as a CSV file (CSV UTF-8 (comma separated)).

You can find the Group Code under Course Tools > Groups > Select the appropriate Category if necessary > Click on the name of the Group.

After this:

  1. In your course, go to Course Tools > Groups
  2. Click Import
  3. Select the Category where the groups are located
  4. Under Upload File, click Browse and select the correct CSV file
  5. Click Import File
  6. Your file will now be checked (this may take a moment)
  7. Once complete, you can view the results or click Exit immediately.
